C-reactive protein (CRP) is synthesized by hepatocytes under the stimulation of IL-6, IL-2, and TNF. Macrophages can also be produced in small amounts in inflammatory areas. It is an acute phase (phase) protein that can bind pneumococcal cell wall glycoprotein. The content of CRP in the serum of healthy people is extremely low. Under the stimulation of infection, inflammation, tissue damage, malignant tumors, etc., it starts to increase at 2h, reaches a peak at 24-48h, and the increase can reach a thousand times, and the increase is directly proportional to the degree of infection. Related. Much earlier than changes in body temperature and white blood cell count. Once the infection is controlled, its concentration can quickly fall back to normal within a week.
